Where To Donate Your Mattress

Donating your old mattress is very simple! Think of all the people that could benefit from used mattresses around the world. Look into your community to see if there are local homeless shelters or charity cases. Perhaps you have a relative or know someone who could greatly benefit from a mattress. A gesture like this one may seem small to you, but there are many families who simply cannot afford brand new mattresses.

Places To Donate Your Sleeping Pad

Local Homeless Shelters

You may be surprised to find that your community houses homeless people who have nowhere to live. Do a little bit of research on the shelter nearest you. Places like these are in great need of mattresses and while we can’t give every homeless people shelter, we can help them find a comfortable bed to sleep in at night. Even though your mattress may be old, it will be a treasure to those who do not have a place to lay their head on.

The National Furniture Bank Association

If you don’t know anyone who may need a mattress, don’t give up just yet. We know where to donate mattresses so they will continue to serve someone else well. There are various agencies who will gladly take your old mattress in and give it to someone in need of one. The National Furniture Bank Association for instance, strongly believes that no child should ever have to sleep on the floor. They even provide pick-up services so that you don’t have to leave your home. Prior to picking up your new mattress, schedule a pickup with The National Furniture Bank Association. By doing so, you are guaranteed peace of mind and a good night’s sleep! Check the map of Furniture Banks in their website to get your nearest point of furniture collection.

Craigslist

Posting your used mattress on craigslist is not a bad idea. This helps you get rid of your old mattress locally and most likely it will be out of your home in a couple of days! Let your viewers know you are willing to give it away for free as long as they pick it up from your home. This is a win-win situation because you are helping someone in need of a mattress and they are making room for your new mattress.

Church Charities

Churches usually always accept donations of any kind to help the poor. Most Catholic churches, for example, accept used mattresses. They collect food, clothes, and furniture to gift it to those in need. An old mattress is new to someone else and it will consequently improve their health and happiness. Brightening someone’s day is as simple as donating a mattress you no longer need.

Why Donate Your Mattress?

Did you know that leaving your mattress on the side of the road for pick up contributes to the overflowing trash of your local landfill? Donating your mattress can make a significant difference in the lives of those around you. So the next time you decide to buy a new mattress, consider donating the old one and giving someone in need a suitable place to lay their head at night. Good deeds like this don’t go unnoticed and you will very likely sleep better at night after performing an act of kindness such as this one.
